Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) may be set out as a requirement in your jurisdiction’s Standards of Practice or Codes of Ethics. PLI protects you against liability or allegations for injuries or damages that have resulted from a negligent act, error, omission, or malpractice that has arisen out of your professional capacity as a social worker. Your coverage insures payment of compensatory damages and legal costs associated with a claim.
Commercial General Liability (CGL) insurance will protect you against claims arising from injury or property damage that you (or your business, including your staff) may cause to another person as a result of your operations and/or premises. For example, a client may slip and fall on a wet floor or you may accidentally cause property damage to a client’s home during a consultation.
